It may not be a bug in python-apt, but it is a bug nevertheless. If unreadable files are not supported, the applications should ignore them or complain about them, not crash and raise an apport dialog every hour.
Please note that it is very easy to generate files in `sources.list.d` that are not readable by normal users. Just use `sudo apt-add- repository` and a 077 umask. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to oneconf in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1323586 Title: oneconf crashes if one apt list file is unreadable Status in oneconf package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in python-apt package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: oneconf-service will crash if one of the files in `/etc/apt/sources.list.d` is unreadable (for example because it has been created using sudo and umask 077).
